    Yes, all quotes are completely free and come with no obligation.

  • What areas do you cover?

    We cover Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Fareham, Portsmouth, Stubbington, Alverstoke, Locks Heath, Hill Head, Titchfield, and surrounding Hampshire areas.

  • How long does a typical project take?

    Most fencing and gate installations are completed within 1–3 days, depending on size and complexity.

  • Do I need to be at home during installation?

    Not necessarily. As long as we have access to the area and have agreed the details beforehand, we can complete the work while you’re away.

  • Do you remove and dispose of old fencing?

    Yes, we can remove and responsibly dispose of old fencing as part of the project.

Garden

Fencing

  • What type of fencing is best for privacy?

    Close board (feather edge) fencing is the most popular option for privacy and security.

  • Can fencing be installed on uneven or sloped ground?

    Yes. We regularly install fencing on uneven and sloped ground and adjust panels or rails accordingly.

  • Do you use concrete or timber posts?

    We offer both, depending on your preference and requirements. Concrete posts are popular for longevity, while timber posts provide a more traditional look.

  • How long will my new fence last?

    With proper installation and quality materials, fencing can last 15–25 years or more.

Garden

Gates

  • Can you match a new gate to my existing fence?

    Yes, we custom-build gates to match the style, height, and finish of your fencing.

  • Do you supply and fit gate hardware?

    Yes. All gates are supplied with quality hinges, latches, and fixings.

Sheds & Garden Structures

  • Are your sheds custom built?

    Yes. All our sheds are built to suit your space, purpose, and layout — not flat-pack units.

  • Do sheds need a base?

    In most cases, yes. We can advise on suitable bases depending on ground conditions and shed size.

Timber Frame Construction

  • What types of timber structures do you build?

    We build pergolas, seating structures, garden frames, and bespoke timber constructions.

  • Is the timber treated for outdoor use?

    Yes. We use pressure-treated timber designed to withstand the UK climate.

Pricing & Guarantees

  • How much does fencing installation cost?

    Costs vary depending on fence type, size, and ground conditions. We provide clear, itemised quotes after assessment.

  • Do you offer any guarantees?

    Yes. All workmanship is completed to a high standard, and materials are sourced from trusted suppliers.

Planning & Practical

  • Do I need planning permission for fencing?

    Most residential fencing does not require planning permission, but we’re happy to advise if needed.

  • What happens if my fence is damaged in bad weather?

    We offer repair services and can assess damage to recommend the best solution.

  • Can I paint or stain my new fence straight away?

    We usually recommend allowing timber to weather slightly before painting or staining for best results.
